Unfortunately builder.classpath.org, planet.classpath.org and
icedtea.wildebeest.org (which acts as the icedtea backup server) need to
move to a different internet connection… twice…

First they will move today/tomorrow to a slower connection, and then one
or two weeks later they will hopefully move to a much faster connection.
Each time the IP addresses will change. This might cause some unexpected
downtime or make the servers unreachable for some time.

You might notice some warnings emitted when committing to one of the
repositories that trigger the buildbot when it cannot reach
builder.classpath.org. These are “harmless”, except that your commit
will not be tested by the autobuilders. So please be extra careful what
you commit in the next couple of days.

Let’s have a look at some numbers: we have 136 members who have been nominated for their contributions to the project; we have some 270 developers and 270 localizers (although we always want to attract more), many of whom are also members; we have over 100 mailing lists, with over 15,000 subscribers, half of whom receive all our announcements; and there have been thousands of articles in the media worldwide.

LibreOffice is the result of the combined activity of 330 contributors – including former OpenOffice.org developers – having made more than 25,000 commits

Subject: openjdk.java.net is offline
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 23:06:30 -0700 (06/29/2011 08:06:30 AM)
Mailer: MH-E 8.2; nmh 1.3; GNU Emacs 23.1.1
Due to an unexpected cooling-system failure, openjdk.java.net and all of
its subdomains are offline. Oracle IT and facilities teams are working
on the problem now. At this point we do not expect service to be
restored before mid-morning tomorrow (Wednesday) Pacific time.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
(In case you're wondering, you're receiving this message because you've
sent a message to one or more OpenJDK mailing lists in the last thirty
days. Please pass this on to any other interested parties.)

If people desperately need the code right now then we have some mirrors of the code on http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/ and some more on the mirror of IcedTea itself http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/hg/ but only the main forests have been mirrored. If you find something missing then please leave a comment and I make sure we add it for next time the openjdk servers go down. The mirrors update every hour, so should have all of the recent changes.

It does various builds on ia32, x86_64 and arm buildslaves whenever a commit is pushed to icedtea6, icedtea7, icedtea-web or the testrepo. The slaves also test various alternative runtime setups (cacao, shark, zero). By doing continuous builds on all these various setups we hope to keep the projects green at all times.

Simon Phipps made a handy dandy OpenJDK governance Score Card. Taking the proposed OpenJDK Community Bylaws draft proposal, and measuring it against the Open-By-Rule Benchmark. So you can quickly see how the current draft is doing against the ten benchmark rules (“open”, “meritocratic”, “oligarchy”, “license”, “copyright aggregation”, “trademark”, “roadmap”, “co-developers”, “forking” and “transparency”). Scoring goes from -10 till 10…

Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create.

It currently is only signed by my old key (0x95ABF50C), so if you trusted that really was me, then you can be pretty sure the new one is also me. But it would be good to get some more people to confirm the transition. So if you happen to come to Fosdem next weekend and run into me, please exchange GPG key details to confirm each others identity. Full public key available from my homepage and on the various keyservers.
